    [REQUEST] BIOS Password Reset - HP EliteBook 830 G6 - Halt Code: qeh11u1kst

    Hi everyone,

    I’m a student currently locked out of the BIOS on my HP EliteBook 830 G6. I bought the laptop second-hand, and the previous owner didn't provide the password. I really need access to the BIOS to change storage settings and boot orders for my studies.

    System Details:
    • Model: HP EliteBook 830 G6
    • Processor: Intel Core i5 (8th Gen)
    • Serial Number: 5CG0080LKD
    • Halt Code (from 3rd fail): qeh11u1kst

    I'm hoping someone here can help me generate an SMC.bin file or provide a master password that works for this generation. Any guidance on how to get back into this machine would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you in advance for your time and help.
    • Model: HP EliteBook 830 G6
    • Processor: Intel i5-8365U
    • Serial Number: 5CG0080LKD
    • System SKU: 4WE10AV
    • Board ID: 854A
    • Halt Code: qeh11u1kst
    • Current BIOS Ver: R70 Ver. 01.34.00 (11/4/2025)

          Hi there,

          Thank you for the reply. To be honest, I don’t have a hardware programmer (like a CH341A) to dump the chip physically right now.

          Since I'm on an EliteBook 830 G6 and I have the halt code qeh11u1kst, do you know if there is any other software-based way to get you the file you need? Or is a hardware programmer the only option for this model?

          I really appreciate your patience and help

              Hi HP stopped providing SMC.bin files before the COVID period. I think the only way is through "hardware" yeah

                  Dell Latitude 5530 BIOS Password Removal Attempted but I Broke the Laptop
                  by TopPop
                  Sorry for the long story. I have a Dell Latitude 5530 (i7) laptop (South Peak 15 MLK MB DDR4 203102-1 FK8VG$JA) with an admin BIOS password that I want to remove. Service Tag: HYKFPT3. Other than that the laptop worked OK.

                  I found a CH341A Black and went looking for the BIOS chip on the motherboard. After trying to read one chip that was a firmware chip but not the BIOS I think I found the BIOS chip labeled Winbond 25Q256JVEN. Altogether I think I found 4 different firmware chips in the laptop. The BIOS chip is a WSON8 6x8. I used the CH341A, NeoProgrammer, and a cheap pogo pin clip...

                  Bios password reset, C655-S5512
                  by blazie151
                  Bios is a pct25vf032b, I can't get it to read or even detect it with any software or driver combination I've used, and my modded black CH341A. Mobo is 1310A2423502, SN is 5S1CM20TMB. How do I get you guys a bios dump if it won't read it? And how do I get rid of this darn bios password?

                  EDIT: For sh*ts and giggles I tried reading the chip with the CMOS battery in thinking the 3.3v wasn't getting enough juice. Also wouldn't read. So I decided to plug it in to the charger, and low and behold, 3 successful bios dumps with 3 different programs (FlashRom 1.2.50, 1.40, and IMSProg. So I...

                  Hello Hello,

                  I have been browsing the site and gotten so much useful info from here, including extremely helpful boardviews and several other very useful types of information. I am very grateful to this community, as I have actually eeked out a living from buying salvage PC's & Macbooks and repairing them. So, thank you all in advance!


                  I have searched and found some useful information regarding my issue, but my case is a bit different than the info I'm finding. But if anyone here can give me any useful advice, it would be highly appreciated.
